Application f led December 4, 1916. Seria l'No. 134,850.

To all whomz't may concern: 7 Be it known that I, VVILLIAM C. A. EBER-HARDT, a citizen of the United States, resid ing at 166% N. Wisconsinstreet, Racine, in the county of Racine and State of VVisconsin, haveinvented anew and useful Heat- Distributing Device, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to heat-distributing devices, especially designedto be used in connection with portable oil heaters or similar heaters.The object is to distribute the heat generated by the heater in such amanner as to obtain the most possible benefit of it.

Further objects and advantages of my invention will hereinafter bedescribed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, illustratingmy invention, and forming a part of this specification, and where Figure1 is a sectional view of the device taken through the center, on theline 1-1 Fig. 2, Fig. 1 also shows the practical application.

the cover designated by the numeral 5 being removed, and the bladed diskdesignated by the numeral 4: shown in full. Fig. 3 is a plan view of thebody proper separate, consisting of the parts designated by the numerals1, 2 and 3. The supporting brackets designated by the numeral 6 are alsoshown in this view. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the perforated coverdesignated by the numeral 5.

In the drawing wherein is illustrated a preferred embodiment of myinvention, the numeral 1 designates the upper portion of the outer wallof the body, being vertically disposed and circular in horizontal crosssec tion; the numeral 2 designates the lower portion of the outer Wallof the body, which is coneshaped and is perforated all around near itslower edge, and is substantially attached to portion 1; the numeral 3designates the inner wall of the body and which is also verticallydisposed and circular in horizontal cross section and is substantiallyattached to portion 2 of the outer wall at its lower edge. The numeral 4designates a bladed disk, the blades being radially disposed and turnedto stand at an angle in relation to the central and horizontallydisposed ornamental parts of the device.

1 portion. The bladed disk is suspended from cover above by means of ascrew or similar means designated by the numeral 10, Fig. 1. The numeral5 deslgnates a cover, a plan view of which is shown in Fig. 4, beingperforated to permit the heat generated by the heater to pass through.The object of the cover is to hide from the eye the less The nu meral 6designates supporting brackets which are three in number and aredesigned to fit the various sizes of heaters, and are mounted on theinside of outer wall by any suitable means. The numeral 8 designates theheater, which is not a part of the invention. The numeral 9 designatesthe perforations in the part designated by the numeral 2. The numeral 10designates a screw or bolt used to suspend bladed disk at fromperforated cover 5. The numeral 11 desig nates the perforations in theperforated cover, designated by the numeral 5.

- In the use of my invention, the same is set over the top of a heaterin the manner shown on the drawing, and is supported by the supportingbrackets on top of heater. The heat generated by the heater, rising,strikes the bladed disk, spreads, heating the blades'to their fullextent passes off through and then passing off through the perforatedcover into the room, thus taking the cold air. from the fioor,circulating it through the device and giving it ofi1' at the top inlarge volumes uniformly heated and distributed in a most eifectivenanner.

Having fully described my invention, I claim:

1. A heat distributing device of the kind described, comprising acylindrical casing, I

having a perforated cone-shaped lower portion, and an inner open endedcylinder shorter than said casing and with its lower end joined to thelower end of the cone shaped portion, and a bladed disk mounted in saidcasing above said cylinder, said disk described, comprising acylindrical casing having an inwardly inclined perforated lower portion,and an mner open ended cylinder, shorter than the outer casing, and

Copies of this patent may be obtained for spaced therefrom, and joinedat its lower end to the lower end of the outer casin a ing and abovesaid cylinder, a perforated cover on the casing, and brackets on thecasing adapting it to be mounted on a heater. In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature.

VILLIABI C. A. EBERHARDT.
